Hi Meira,

I enjoyed reading your post! I have also always loved watching TED talks, I find them so fun and engaging especially in a learning environment. I also remember watching the TED talk by Will Stephan as I always found it so funny! I thought that was a perfect example for you to include in your post to demonstrate the different techniques of how to tell a story. I think your opinion of the inclusion of a storyboard/ script for these talks is a great idea. Adding an easy way to visually represent ideas will also make the talks more accessible for others 🙂 Overall, great job, thanks for your blog post!

Hi Braden! 

I enjoyed reading your blog post. I like how you incorporated visuals generated by AI into your post as well. I find it always so fascinating viewing AI generated imagery, as it looks very utopian! I liked how you used your experience in a past course to describe the impact of storytelling and your better understanding of course content because of this method. I definitely agree with your discussion of bringing real-life examples into the classroom, and how helpful they can be for understanding. Thank you for the blog post!

Hi Mirai!

Thank you for your blog post! I liked the little slideshow screencast you put together, and incorporated into your post for us to get to know you, super fun! I also really enjoyed reading your post and your ability to relate the course material to your personal experiences. I 100% agree with the increase in extraneous load we students were under when classes were delivered online, it was definitely a quick learning shift. Most of my friends were not huge fans of online learning, although I somewhat didn’t mind it. Even though it was a little unorganized at the beginning, the structure got better overtime and allowed us to learn how to prepare for assessments in a different way than in-person school. So in that case, I also agree with your mention that online learning can definitely be beneficial and developed into a great learning opportunity/ tool!

Hello!
Thank you for your blog post! I liked how you incorporated the definitions of a few of the multimedia theories that we learned about in the first week. As you mentioned in your blog “explaining words with supportive pictures makes people understand more easily”, I suggest definitely adding some pictures to your next blog post to make your post even more captivating and interesting to the audience! Expanding even more on your examples and ideas as well and adding your own personal opinions I think could help as well! Overall great job, and as mentioned in the modality principle, many learn better from graphics, so definitely take your own advice of adding pictures with text for your next posts 🙂

Hi Alexa!
Great first blog post! I enjoyed the use of images to help better understand the content you were talking about. I liked how you listed your examples of each type of media clearly, and mentioned the idea of virtual reality as an evolving technology, including its importance in the future of education! I definitely agree with this idea, as over the last couple years we have seen such a huge increase in the use of technology for education. I can just imagine how much more technology and the use of online tools is going to continue to expand, especially in schools. Thanks for sharing!
